The Catcher In The Rye summary #2
After a person gets socked in the mouth they tend to want to leave the place they got socked at. So old Holden took off to his favorite place in the world New York City. I would have done the same thing he did in that situation, three days of New York City to myself doesn't sound to bad.
It was to late to catch a cab that night, so he went ahead and walked to the station. Caught the bus and headed off to the fabulous New York City.
He finally arrived at Penn Station, got off the bus and caught a cab. Holden asked the cab driver if there were any good band's playing at the Taff, but unfortunately not. So he got the driver to drop him off at the Edmont Hotel, were he would be staying for the next few nights. Checked in and went to his crumby room, were many wild things would happen later that night. In his room he looked out at his windows and saw a bunch of old perverts dressing up as women. That would seriously gross me out but whatever floats your boat. He got tired of looking at the perverts, and he was feeling kind of horny. So he pulled out a number from his wallet that a guy gave him last year, about a girl that didn't mind to "do it" every now and then. He called up the number and a girl answered, but it was three a clock in the morning so he didn't get that great of a response. Faith Cavendish was here name, and after Holden told her he was in a phone booth she said no can do. She made up this lie about her friend being ill, and it would be dangerous for his health. He never met the girl and she never met him, i would never go to some house that i never met just to neck.
Holden was bored and looking for action so he took off to the to the "Lavender Room" club. He had this one side of his hair that was grey so he thought he could pass as an adult. Not at this club though, the waiter new right away that his was underage and gave him a coke. At the table right next to him saw these three girls all by themselves looking around the club. So Holden gave them the eye, he thinks he so slick. He gets up, walks over to the girls table and asks them if they would like a drink. Even though he knows he can't buy them a drink hear. He started laying his UN-slick moves on them, and finally he got the blond one to dance. She was a really good dancer, and could jitterbug with the best of them. The blond kept looking around everywhere while they were dancing, so Holden asked her what was she looking for. She said she was looking for movie stars. I guess she expected one to come in any minute but unfortunately that didn't happen. They went back to the table and kept hanging out for a while. The girls decided to leave a little after dancing, and Holden asked them if they wanted to come back to his place but they said no.
He walked out of the club into the lobby and had old Jane on his mind. No alcohol in him, he couldn't call Jane and the night was getting old. so he caught a cab to old Ernie's night club, even though it was late Ernie's was still packed out. He went inside and ordered a scotch and soda, it never mattered how old you were at Ernie's, you could drink. Old Ernie was a black man that could play the piano like no other man. He would only talk to you if you were famous, and if you weren't prepare to be ignored. Old Holden was surrounded by jerks, and then this dumb girl his brother J.B. used to date came up and talked to him. Her name was Lillian Simmons, and boy was she annoying. She asked poor old Holden a thousand Questions about his brother and him. Like were he was, how he's doing, how are you doing, why are you in New York? It didn't stop until she stopped up the line so bad that she had to keep moving. Ernie's was getting old fast, so old Holden set off towards home.
